Champions Oncology Reports Quarterly Revenue of $14.1 Million
Adjusted EBITDA of $2.0 Million


Hackensack, NJ – September 11, 2024 – Champions Oncology, Inc. (Nasdaq: CSBR), a global preclinical and clinical research services provider that offers end-to-end oncology solutions, today announced its financial results for its first quarter of fiscal 2025, ended July 31, 2024.

First Quarter Highlights:

•Total revenue increased 12% to $14.1 million
•Margin improved to 50%
•Adjusted EBITDA of $2.0 million
•Net income of $1.3 million

Ronnie Morris, CEO of Champions, commented, “As outlined on our year-end earnings call, we’re cautiously optimistic that we’ve weathered the worst of the business downturn and we’re poised to emerge leaner and stronger. Our first quarter’s performance provided further evidence that we’re on a strategic course to more consistently deliver the results we have been striving to achieve." Morris added, “Our comprehensive platform, unique data, and strong team are the key ingredients for future growth that will drive long-term returns for our shareholders.”

David Miller, CFO of Champions, added, “The first quarter saw a return to profitability as revenue increased 12% to $14.1 million while we reduced total costs by more than $2.0 million. The revenue increase, combined with mostly unchanged cost of oncology services, lifted our margin to 50%.” Miller added, “While there will be some revenue and margin volatility over the coming quarters, our cost reductions should enable us to remain profitable on an adjusted EBITDA basis.”


Exhibit 99.1
First Fiscal Quarter Financial Results

Total revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 was $14.1 million compared to $12.6 million for the same period last year, an increase of 12%. Operational improvements and efficiencies implemented in the prior year led to an increase in our bookings to revenue conversion percentage contributing to the revenue growth. Total costs and operating expenses for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 were $12.7 million compared to $15.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2024, a decrease of $2.4 million or 15.8%.

For the first quarter of fiscal 2025, Champions reported income from operations of $1.3 million, including $258,000 in stock-based compensation and $449,000 in depreciation and amortization expenses, compared to a loss from operations of $2.6 million, inclusive of $423,000 in stock-based compensation and $445,000 in depreciation and amortization expenses, in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. Excluding stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization expenses, Champions reported an adjusted EBITDA income of $2.0 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to an adjusted EBITDA loss of $1.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024.

Cost of oncology services was $7.1 million for the three-months ended July 31, 2024, a decrease of $612,000, or 8.0% compared to $7.7 million for the three-months ended July 31, 2023. The decrease in cost of oncology services was primarily from a decline in outsourced lab services. For the three-months ended July 31, 2024, total margin was 49.7% compared to 38.8% for the three-months ended July 31, 2023. The improved margin resulted primarily from a combination of an increase in revenue on a lower cost base due to operational efficiencies implemented and other cost reduction initiatives.

Research and development expense for the three-months ended July 31, 2024 was $1.5 million, a decrease of $1.3 million or 47.9%, compared to $2.8 million for the three-months ended July 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to reduced investment in research and development, including our target discovery program. Sales and marketing expense for the three-months ended July 31, 2024 was $1.7 million, a slight decrease of $17,000, or 1.0%, compared to $1.7 million for the three-months ended July 31, 2023. General and administrative expense for the three-months ended July 31, 2024 was $2.5 million, a decrease of $413,000, or 14.0%, compared to $2.9 million for the three-months ended July 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily from a reduction in compensation and recruitment expenses.

Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $311,000 for the three-months ended July 31, 2024 and was primarily due to our operational income, offset by net changes in our working capital accounts in the ordinary course of business. There were no investing activities for the first quarter of fiscal 2025. Net cash used in financing activities for the three-months ended July 31, 2024 was approximately $37,000 resulting from financing lease payments.

The Company ended the quarter with cash on hand of approximately $2.9 million. The Company has no debt.

Exhibit 99.1
* Non-GAAP Financial Information
See the attached Reconciliation of GAAP net income (loss) to Non-GAAP net income (loss) for an explanation of the amounts excluded to arrive at Non-GAAP net income (loss) and related Non-GAAP income (loss) per share amounts for the three months ended July 31, 2024 and 2023. Non-GAAP financial measures provide investors and management with supplemental measures of operating performance and trends that facilitate comparisons between periods before and after certain items that would not otherwise be apparent on a GAAP basis. Certain unusual or non-recurring items that management does not believe affect the Company’s basic operations do not meet the GAAP definition of unusual or non-recurring items. Non-GAAP net income (loss) and Non-GAAP income (loss) per share are not, and should not, be viewed as a substitute for similar GAAP items. Champions defines Non-GAAP dilutive income (loss) per share amounts as Non-GAAP net income (loss) divided by the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding. Champions’ definition of Non-GAAP net income (loss) and Non-GAAP diluted income (loss) per share may differ from similarly named measures used by other companies and may not be applicable for the current reporting period.
